Oak (Quercus sp) – 35 feet tall x 13 inch trunk

Cut down, cut stump as low as possible, dispose of debris.

Front street tree.

REBAR LOCATING – Trees in some sections of Carolina Preserve were planted with steel rebar instead of wooden stakes. I must locate using a metal detector and remove any rebar before stump grinding. It is extremely dangerous to grind a stump without removing rebar first.

FOUND REBAR charged @ $10-$20/piece. Trees typically have 3 pieces, but some have less or none where someone removed it already.

TOTAL (typical): $0-$60 PER TREE

*THERE IS NO CHARGE IF NO REBAR IS FOUND*. Assuming 3 pieces found.

STUMP GRINDING (estimated until after 811 call and inspection work below completed)

I will need to call 811 to confirm utility line locations. Grind entire mound area. Extra large mound. Also remove holly shrub growing in mound and dispose.

NOTE: SPECTRUM/ATT cable box is part of the mound to be removed. Customer must contact cable provider to work out how to remove box temporarily and replace after grinding.

—– [General Stump Grinding Information Below] —– 

811 locates water and sewer to the curb, electrical, gas, and telecom to the house. Water and sewer generally go straight from the curb location to the house. If there is a question about water and sewer location the customer must waive my liability for these lines.

811 does not mark irrigation systems, low voltage wiring (dog invisible fences, lighting, security, etc.) and other underground systems. Per my waiver, I cannot take responsibility for these unless notified as to their existence and location.

OAK GRINDINGS – Remove stump grindings and dispose to allow for replanting in same spot. Replace with soil as needed. I expect 1.5 cubic yard of debris to be removed ($200/yd disposed). This will remove entire mound area down to match the surrounding grade of the lawn.

MULCH REMOVAL – Remove mulch bed surrounding Oak tree. I expect 0.75 cubic yards of old mulch to be removed ($120/yd disposed). I will do this before grinding the tree stump so that any large roots hidden by the mulch can be removed by the stump grinder as part of the grinding cost above.

OAK TREE REPLACEMENT – HOA size tree from the HOA list.

Tree price includes tree, tree planting, and a 1-year standard warranty.

Trees on HOA list with typical pricing in HOA size:

$450-$550 Red Maple, Trident Maple, Crapemyrtle (various flower colors usually available), Cherry

$550-$600 Carpinus (Ironwood)

$850-$900 Japanese Maple (Bloodgood or Coral Bark/Sango Kaku)

I don’t recommend planting Dogwoods in full sun locations. Other trees on list not available or not recommended.

SOD REPLACEMENT – Replace sod where mulch removed and tree mound removed except for center 6′ circle where new tree will be planted and mulched in. (I don’t recommend a planting circle smaller than 6′.) 150 sq feet of sod to be installed. Install at $3/sq foot. ‘TifTuf’ Bermuda sod per HOA rules. I think if this is done before the end of September it will root well enough. Depending on how cold the fall is and how much later the actual work happens, it may be best to wait until the Spring of 2025 to install new sod.

HOLLY REMOVAL – Large holly by garage corner. Cut down, dig out stump, dispose of debris.

HOLLY REPLACEMENT – TBD

Distylium?

Loropetalum?

Azalea?

Camellia?
